Cabin design not for everyone. SYNC 3 system is absolutely top notch. Cavernous trunk. Safe, solid and dependable. I have had zero issues with the car in 2 years. For a large car the mileage is good (22-23 mpg, commuting and around town, and I’m heavy on the gas pedal). I find performance with the base engine to be very good. I’m a large person (6’5, 260) and I have plenty of room. A good all-around sedan.

I purchased my 2016 Taurus SEL in May of 2017 to replace a string of three Buicks that I owned previously. To my surprise, my Taurus rides just as well, is as quiet, and is more comfortable and gets better gas mileage than my Buicks. I did not buy it for performance, but the engine and transmission are more than adequate. Because it is a sedan, and was over a year old when I bought it, I got a GREAT purchase price, and now, six months later, have absolutely no buyer's remorse for purchasing the 2016 Ford Taurus. Great job, Ford!

I just purchased this car and luv, luv, luv it. I've read many reviews prior to purchase and find them somewhat inaccurate. First what I luv, I feel very safe and comfortable in this beefy but cozy vehicle. It goes from 0 to 60 in six seconds so I can get away or get there, not only fast but in head turning style. The back up camera is a dream and because of the fortress like body, causing limited vision, the back up camera is the right answer. Complaints I've read included limited all around vision, well I drive more carefully and I like the privacy the design provides. I also read a totally inaccurate review that the headlights don't illuminate the road on either side of the car...WRONG, the headlights provide 180 degrees of light and illuminate the roadway perfectly. this car has a 5 star safety rating and good old fashioned made in America support from the dealer. The only thing that I would like to see improvement on is a increase in the size of the space between driver and passenger seats. I used to be able to put a small refuse container there and am not able to do that in the car. A small price to pay in exchange for a great, quiet, wonderfully smooth, fast acting, comfortable ride. you can't go wrong with this American made Ford car, especially because the American company didn't take any tax payer bailout money. SUPPORT YOU COUNTRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE....THANKS FORD, FOR KEEPING US SAFE AND COMPHY. FEB 2018 UPDATE...CHANGED CAR NAME FROM PEGASUS TO ZEUS TO MANY SYLLABLES IN THE FORMER. STILL LUV, LUV, LUV THE TAURUS. ZEUS HAS BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR AND BEAUTIFUL SPARKLY GRAY EXTERIOR PAINT JOB. LAST SUMMER IS WAS BEING DRAWN TO THE WHITE GOLD EXTERIOR AND CREAM COLORED LEATHER INTERIOR...SO MUCH SO THAT I WENT TO TEST DRIVE A TAURUS IN THAT COLOR COMBO. I GOT OVER INTEREST IN THAT CAR IN A HURRY, THE INTERIOR FELT CRAMPED AND THE RIDE JUST DIDN'T SEEM AS GOOD AS MY ZEUS. ZEUS' BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR GIVES A CAVERNOUS FEEL AND I LUV THE GLITTERY GRAY EXTERIOR. THE CAR DRIVES LIKE A DREAM AND AS BEFORE I FEEL VERY SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. FORD SHOULD REALLY MAKE BLIND SPOT MONITORING STANDARD. I'VE CHANGED MY DRIVING HABITS TO ACCOMODATE THE BLIND SPOT. I'M DRIVING MUCH MORE CAREFULLY SO IT' NOT A BAD THING, BUT HAVING BLIND SPOT MONITOING WOULD BE A BETTER OPTION TO KEEP DRIVERS AND OTHERS SAFE. OTHER THAN THAT I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE TAURUS AND FEEL IT WILL BE A GOOD RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR A GOOD LONG TIME. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CAR HUNT. THANKS AGAIN FORD FOR MAKING SUCH A SAFE, RELIABLE MADE IN THE USA VEHILCE.

I have driven and owned many sedans over the years and this 6th generation Taurus build is by far the best out of all other sedans in it's class. The comfort level is incredible and no other vehicle has seats that are as comfortable as the leather heated seats in these cars and the touch screen back up camera and adjustable pedals make it even better. The powerful flex fuel V6 engine my Taurus has is wonderful on gas and I get excellent city and highway mileage while driving a very fun car that hugs the curbs like a sports car (if yours doesn't change your tires and or suspension because these cars are beasts at this) and just truly a joy to drive and ride in. The dependablity is great with low mileage and could be better at higher mileage but everything you get more than makes up for this negative overall. I currently have my second 6th gen Taurus (first was 2010 this one is 2016) and I am just as in love with this one. I know I will continue to get more years of good service from this amazing car.
